@IzzyOnDroid@floss.social that's the kind of boldness you only get when you're 100% confident nobody will legally prosecute you for running a protection scheme.

SnakeOil !!11!! I've just taken the unsigned APK, renamed it to test17.zip, removed the META-INF/ directory, AndroidManifest.xml, and kotlin-tooling-metadata.json files (all text files only) so it's no longer recognizable as APK – and guess what? ALL engines show green. No findings. So: was the malware in those text files? Or is it just "safe" because it does not need to be on Play? If it were signatures matching, they should still have matched. My guess: AndroidManifest.xml.

I have to sadly inform you, that Simon died (poor canary). The game is, from now on, called "Google says". (OK, I see myself out…) For those not knowing the game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Says

Final note (for now): THANKS FOR YOUR BOOSTS! 🤗 Looks like this helped: the app in question suddenly has all engines showing "green" – including the one¹ claiming to be unable unless the app is on PlayStore. It still is not, and probably never will be. BUT: wait for the next #AndroidAppRain at the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome: ¹ they probably didn't want to be the only ones left behind 🤪 (replies from the other vendors were more positive 😉) #PeoplePower #FediPower

@IzzyOnDroid@floss.social Maybe they'd like to disclose those internal processes during discovery for a libel suit... 😈

@IzzyOnDroid@floss.social so this also means their scanners do not actually scan anything. They rely on fucking google detection. WTFH!!!

@IzzyOnDroid@floss.social I'll be glad when my Linux phone gets here from Jolla; I will no longer have to deal with GoogleCrap.

@IzzyOnDroid@floss.social The passive-aggressive!: “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.” That “any inconvenience“ rather than “the inconvenience“… etc. The FU comes thru loud & clear. #anyInconvenience #passiveAggressive #GooglePlayStore

@IzzyOnDroid@floss.social seriously, if this was me I'd file a report for "false suspicion" and "blackmail" at that point, because Google Play's extortive demands, incl. forced self-doxxing, are incompatible with human- & civil rights! In the meantime: #NameThemBlameThem [the corpo!] so everyone can #BanThemBoycottThem for this bs.!Not to mention Google doesn't allow certain Apps in their Store purely out of spite; Same with Apple!

@IzzyOnDroid@floss.social yeah, I avoid installing things from Google Play because of all the malware (not to mention spyware). Why take unnecessary risks when we have trusted options like #Fdroid or #IzzyOnDroid instead, amirite
